Dreaming of Dinos

About 2 years ago, my friends Ann Marie, Emily and I came up with Dino Week: a celebration of all things dinosaur that takes place each year the week after Shark Week. In fact, our tagline for Dino Week is: "Dino Week. You know, the week after Shark Week." I'm pretty sure we are the only three on the planet who celebrate Dino Week, but it has gotten some outside attention as of late and plans for Dino Week 2009 have grown to include more people and places (the La Brea Tar Pits and the dinosaurs in Pee Wee's Big Adventure are only a few of the week's planned festivities.) 

With our biggest Dino Week ever approaching, it's easy to have dinos on the brain. But when dinos start to take over your dreams, it's probably best to take a break from DW planning for a little while. 

The following is a dream that Ann Marie had not long ago. Here, she recounts her dream for me via g-chat. It's classic Ann Marie:

Ann:  (This was the best dream ever because i often have crazy and even sometimes awesome things happen to me in dreams but So seldom follow a cohesive story arc)

 Sent at 5:55 PM on Tuesday

 Ann:  I was shepherding a flock of dinosaurs from the North Pole to South America because the North Pole was too cold for them.

 me:  i already love it

Ann:  I even had a sheepdog dinosaur that looked kind of allosaurusy but was very docile and had a whole saddle/bridle setup deal

(I know! I knew you would!)

Additionally, on our journey i had to collect all these knowledgeable persons to complete the story of the herd of dinos, like a historian and an archeologist and all sorts of folks

 Ann:  At the end of my dream, i had assembled all these people except one ~ Professor Thomas G. (i forget his whole last name) and we were in a soup pub in Bolivia which was kind of rustic and mysterious but not scary, and everyone had these big steaming mugs of hot soup (The soup pub, incidentally, is a totally money idea, i'm convinced)

 Ann:  And there was one shadowy figure who i was sure was Professor Thomas G., but he tried to outwit me, but then i outwitted him! (i have no idea how) so he nodded solemnly and said "well done" and opened his jacket and showed me his badge that said he was Professor Thomas G!

 Ann:  Then i woke up!

So i ask you...best dream? Or best dream ever?

I think the answer to that is pretty obvious.
